Mountain man,

Here is a place:

You can also run a search in Google for certain woods that meet your fancy. Good luck....

Doesn't Cookshack sell those big boxes of wood chunks they give away free with a smoker purchase?

Here's the link:

Someone on the forum, not long ago, was offering wood for the cost of shipping- pecan or oak I believe. Might want to look over the last couple weeks of posts.

Here, go to this link and scroll to the second post from the bottom. Maybe you can strike up a deal.

Thanks for the input .I'll check all avenues. My biggest concern is shipping.I can't find any Canadian distributors of wood chunks.

I s'pose all y'all got up there is conifers, huh?

Yup, that's all we're good fer, is conifer.

Is there an agricultural issue with importin wood?

No agri issue, a financial issue. A box of wood @ $20 US, plus freightplus exchange rate=$42 Canadian. I guess I'll have to make a trip south of the border to pick up some decent wood.

Click on the link 5 posts up. There's a guy willing to give away pecan (I believe) for the price of shipping.

Geez, they have to have a Wal-Mart there.. they have been everyplace I've been, including Mexico. WM sells chunks of wood in bags. That's where I get most of the 'diferent' woods I use.. when I'm not using oak.

i would love to get my hands on some apple chunks. i been using pellets. good stuff, but dont last long. one of my customers just chopped down a pecan tree a immense proprotions, supposedly, i am gonna get a big chunk of it. man, i sure would love to chop it and sell it....
i just got my shipment of mesquite. i buy 50 lb box, for 25 bucks, no shipping fee.
but this particular batch, is full of bugs! not something i want in my restaurant. good thing, it never came inside. we chop it outside. crazy looking critters, kinda like a cross between a cockroach, and a cricket, i dont know it they have stingers, and i aint gonna find out, i goto town with the hammer and hatchet.

How about a Home Depot or Lowes?

Thanks guys.Wal mart, home depot don't sell wood cips up here. I guess Canadians aren't as BBQ savy as Americans. I'll probably end up going to CS for my wood, but I will try the free pecen.

We have some distributors in Canada, but I don't know if they import wood, or specifically where they would ship it from to you. Here's a link to Cookshack Commercial Distributors. You might check with the closest one to you. Or call Terri at 1-800-423-0698 on Monday and see if she knows who "up there" is importing wood. Hope this helps.

coffee, sounds like you have spider crickets. They will crawl around vertical surfaces and look like spiders, except they have one pair of long v-shaped legs. Jump really good. They feed on rotting wood, usually find them in old sheds around here. Either your shipment got wet or was stored someplace where the wood was rotting. Without an easy food source, like rotting two by fours in a dry shed, they will just get lost in the field and die. They don't bite, but they are ugly buggers, though.
